Wholeheartedly, Kat! It's wonderful, in a gothic/psychological way and eminently readable. Definitely worth the read...and many re-reads. I love it.

I've never read it, but it is been on my list of books I "should" read for a while.
It's a great book and creepy as all fuck.

It's great. Very atmospheric and subtly creepy.

I love the story of
Hill House,
but I can't reread it very often, because it freaks me out every damn time.
Yeah, Hill House is the one that concerns me. Because, you know, my house might be insane. I'm not so worried about the events of Castle.
I just taught the heartbreaking Bradbury short story "All Summer in a Day" to my 6th graders. Inspired such great conversations!
I love using that story. I refer to it as "Children Are Bastards"
I love that short story.
Oh man, I just finished the book
Wonder
by R.J. Palacio. I started at the gym and kept reading it after the kids went to bed. What a great book. Made me cry because it's sort of a Gracie-kinda-story. Except the kids at Grace's school love her.

Bwah! Love that. So true.
